Sherpa Village Trek

The life of mountain dwellers is vastly different from one we lead in the city and is worth having a look at. To give you a look into the heart of the villages of these people we offer an exceptional 8 days trek featuring a wide range of spectacular scenery combined with unique cultural encounters with the kindhearted Sherpa people who inhabit these high altitude regions. You will reach a maximum altitude of 4100m requiring a moderate level of physical fitness to comfortably complete this trek.

The trek continues through the lush vegetation of Sagarmatha National Park, with pine forests, rhododendron flowers and an abundance of wildlife, to Namche Bazaar (3442m). A day of rest is necessary in Namche in order to get acclimatized to higher altitudes. The following days trekking will bring you to the village of Tengboche (3930m), home to the highest Buddhist monastery in the world (4100m) and also reputed by photographers as one of the best places to capture the awesome beauty of Mt. Everest (8848m) and its neighboring peaks.

Acclimatization

Although Sherpa Village Trek consider as a easy and non risk zone in terms of AMS(acute mountain sickness) for relaxed trekkers that Kumar Adventure Trekking planned this itinerary with a high degree of minimization of awareness of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness) as you are going up to 3800m/12467ft which is the mandatory height of this trek at Tengboche. The higher the altitude the less oxygen there is in the air. Your body needs few day to adapt to this and our itinerary provide enough time for acclimatization, so for a safe trek it absolutely essential to allow for sufficient time for acclimatization. Sensible planning is therefore required to minimize the risk of AMS.
